Suggest Treatment For Liver Cirrhosis
Hello...my husband has liver cirrohsis. He checked into rehab at the Betty ford clinic for 30 days in June of 2014. He stopped drinking for about 2 months after leaving rehab. He now continues to drink 1-2 bottles of red wine nightly. What is the prognosis. He is only 41 years old. Thank you.

Hi there,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Cirrhosis is an irreversible condition.
He needs to quit drinking alcohol to prevent worsening of his health condition.
The prognosis depends on the severity of the disease.
CTP score is done to assess the prognosis. Information like presence of fluid in the abdomen, PT/INR, serum bilirubin, hepatic encepahlopathy are need to calculate this score.
I hope that answers your query.
